Absolutely recommend for high quality work at reasonable prices. I clipped our garage and had a scrape and paint mark on the front quarter. Seatown buffed it out - car was ready for pickup in a few hours and at a very reasonable price. read more

Very happy with the service we received Seatown Autoworks. Paul listened carefully to our needs, and like past reviews, was very clear and transparent to our options. The quality was excellent and the service was excellent. Enjoyed talking with Paul, his wife Yuchu and meeting their adorable dog. Happy to find a place I can trust and have confidence on. Will Definately return if needed. read more

Trusted local folks. They do quality work. Very good about managing your repairs, and your claim if going through insurance. Their pricing is fair and their work is good quality and reliable read more

I was referred here via a friend. The owner, Paul Yoshihara, was very friendly, courteous, & kept me up-to-date on the status of the car & dealt with our insurance company State Farm. Our 2002 VW Jetta 1.8T was among a Ferrari P4, BMW 3.0 CSI & other european cars being repaired. He was doing a lot of restoration work for car collectors & CarTender in Capitol Hill has recommended him. Car collectors are the most difficult ones to work with so I felt confident our plain-jane Jetta would be easy work. Our car had front-end damage & needed a new hood, bumper/grill, fender & headlights. I was able to bring in different headlights with foglights and the european headlight switch which Paul was able to add with a factory finish. You can't tell the car was painted or ever in a fender-bender. read more

This was my experience at Seatown: Ethical and Caring and Honest/ Shared Expertise/ Clear Communication/ Professional Inside Information/ Prompt Action/ And...A BEAUTIFUL JOB DONE. This is an island of truly conscious behavior (amidst criminal insurance companies and their compromised adjusters). If you use them, please be on your best behavior. They deserve it, because they give YOU..... THEIR best behavior!! read more

This place is the best. Totally down to earth. They were there for me when a sixteen year old pulled out in front if me. Won battles with the insurance company on my behalf. Car came better than before. Thanks Paul!! read more

Really great service... squeezed me in to their schedule, stayed conscious of the fact that I was paying cash, and tried to keep the cost down. Friendly too. Thanks Paul! read more

I had a large scrape on my rear bumper and these guys fixed it by replacing the bumper. There was even a small scrape on the adjoining quarter panel which somehow they got rid of. The car looks perfect! And they are really nice to work with. read more

I was referred to Seatown Autoworks by CarTender. Paul Yoshihara is a true professional--he knows his craft, and his work is impeccable. I've used his service twice, and was impressed with the quality of his work. I've already referred a friend who was equally pleased. Paul is a pleasure to do business with! read more

Seatown is super great. I got a pretty big scrape on the side of my car covering a couple panels. I was sad about that, but I was more sad when I went to the ford dealers and other body shops and they wanted to charge me $1500 for it. Seatown did it for less than half! The gentleman there gave me 3 options for how to fix up my car, and I chose the most expensive option (still less than half of the other places). It took them a day or two, and you totally cannot tell that anything happened. I was so ecstatic. They are so friendly and quick with everything too. I am hoping I don't scrape into a parking pole again, but if I do I am going back to them. Seatown is honest and fast, and they give you a good understanding of what your repair options are. Thank you guys!! read more

I used Seatown Autoworks to fix my new Malibu when I dented and scratched it along one side of the car. When I received the car back, it looked like nothing had happened to the car, the color matched perfectly and all the dents and scratches were gone like brand new again. I am an elderly woman and Seatown Autoworks treats me with respect instead of taking advantage of me. I highly recommend Seatown Autoworks. Excellent and outstanding workmanship. I will always continue to use them. read more

They used to be my go to place for my Z3 but the door work was never right. The window motor was replaced last year incorrectly as it wore out the motor and now I need to get it replaced. I understand that often it's the glides that need to be replaced to set a window. Along with that, there is now a leak. And after they worked on my trunk, it leaks. It's so sad as they were always so reliable. But now i have to go elsewhere. read more

They don't answer the phone (number on this page) any more, or return voicemails on it. I had to show up in person to see if the shop was even still open. Now it's not Seatown, it's H&I, with a small sign that's hard to find from the street. They turned me away, declining to fix my small dent, said they don't have a body work man on staff any more. Short-handed, the lady said. Not sure what kind of work they are doing - engines? Seemed busy enough inside. And they told me they were the same company as Seatown - I did see the old Seatown sign, apparently removed from the street, tucked away on the floor in the back of the shop. It all seemed kind of weird and fly by night-ish, as if they're hiding from the Russian mafia or something. But it was mostly really frustrating that they still are listed on Yelp as Seatown body shop while they don't do body work. read more

My girlfriend and I have used Seatown Autoworks (aka H & I) twice now, the first time for her car when someone drove into her, and this year for my SUV when I just wanted some running boards installed. The work on my girlfriend's car was great and still looks brand new today (she bought 1-year old and is now 2-3 years). The work they did with her car is the best you can outside of factory production. What compels me to write today is for their customer service. I'm from a small town in Idaho where service was everything. Bad customer service gets around. In a large city, bad service can easily hide behind marketing. H & I doesn't have marketing, but what keeps them very, very busy, is their amazing customer service. When I went in for work to simply install a running board on my SUV, I didn't expect 1st class service for such a simple job. With my most recent visit, it proved that they have amazing knowledge, service, and skills that they apply to both full collisions and for installation of parts. They go well above and beyond what a typical body works person does. It's an art and they are true artists, but without the attitude of an artist! I've recommended friends to H & I already, and will continue to do so. I highly recommend it to whomever is reading this! October 01 Update: 3rd time we used them! A true testimony to their service as we have went in with a problem that appeared larger than it really was. They are brilliant in finding solutions. We were involved in a hit and run and wanted a dent/scuff fixed and repainted. They told us that they should just try buffing it first as it would be a 10th of the cost. They buffed it out and only charged us an hour when I've had other places charge me thousands for similar scuffs. My background is in quality control and compliance and I'm very hard to please especially when it comes to my newer luxury SUVs - Yet I'm super happy I've found this place! read more

The customer service at Seatown is outstanding. I was in an accident and brought my car in for an estimate for body repair. I was treated with respect, courtesy, and patience. The communication was clear and efficient, all my options were explained to me, and there was no pressure to make a quick decision. I highly recommend this place. read more

I needed my exhaust system replaced. They did a great job, were very affordable, and were super nice people. I really appreciate how they went above and beyond to provide amazing service, including touching up some chipped paint! I am now a loyal customer. read more

How often to you give a great rating to someone who turns you away? I came here with my car to get it fixed before selling. Instead, I received terrific advice to consider selling the car with the bump unfixed, since it would result in more net cash in my pocket. It is rare to find a truly trustworthy mechanic/body shop. Thank you! read more

Did an excellent job on my Mercedes E320 Wagon. Worked well with insurance. no headaches!!! Thanks. -Mark.

Friendly and high quality service. The handle of my driver side door and latch were breaking off, when I went to ask them for an estimate for fixing it they fixed it right on the spot - No Charge! My favorite mechanic recommends them for all body work as well. read more

I recently did a bit of damage to my car, and had to bring it in to get some work done. I had never had to deal with auto insurance stuff, so I was at a loss as to how to go about it. These guys essentially held my hand through the whole process and made it so easy for me. It was fair, and they explained everything that was going on. Definitely recommend for body work! read more

Super poor customer service I had told them I had parts for my bumper to add to the body work repairs and they made an appointment for a estimate. When I arrived in the pouring rain, she inspected the car and refused to give me an estimate. I can only figure because the job was too small and they wouldn't get the cut off the parts. They should have said that before I bothered going over. Not good read more

not dark. not dirty. not greasy. not your typical auto body shop. seatown has worked on a number of my vehicles for complete custom work i.e. complete paint jobs and bodykit installation/fitment. no better place for attention to detail and better-than-stock craftsmanship. read more

I have had SeaTown do two of my cars so far. The amazing thing is that you simply can not find a paint line, anywhere! He does work on quite a number of collector cars, however, my two have been an older BMW 5 and an Audi....Nothing special. I am delighted with the workmanship and level of detail! read more

My son is attending graduate school in Seattle and has encountered a rash of bad luck with the car that I loaned to him. Several months ago, someone rear-ended him which required that the bumper be repainted. Paul worked closely with the !%#*!) insurance adjuster and made the process easy. The quality of work was excellent and the service level was outstanding. Last week, some idiot scraped up the side of the our car when they ran into it when it was parked on the curb. Again, Paul made quick work out of if and fixed the problem without any issues. This is as good as it gets. Highly recommended. read more

I have used them twice and gotten great service. The first time, a year ago, was great -- done quickly, on time, pleasant service. But it was even better this time. They really went the extra mile. When we were examining the car after the bumper replacement from a parking lot hit-and-run, we noticed that the taillight also had been broken. We also noticed that the color of the new bumper was not a good match for my 24-year old Miata. So they said they would correct the color when I brought it in again.I notified the adjuster, brought the car in again and not only did they fix the taillight and the color, but they caught a small, nearby ding and some scratches and just generally made the back end of my 170,000-mile car look NEW. Amazing. read more

Wow!! I had a interesting situation where my car had been hit 3 times each represented by a different insurance company. H & I worked/negotiated with all 3 companies to make sure the car was fixed correctly (the estimates missed quite a few items that needed repair) and that I had a rental car for the entire time of the work. They emailed me with updates along the way to keep me up on any changes to the plan. All the repairs look incredibly good. When sighting along both sides of the car it is straight and true. In the end the car turned out great, in fact we feel like we are driving a brand new car (as an added bonus they detailed the interior of the car before we picked it up). This is a place where the owners really take pride in their work. Anyway do not hesitate to use this place. A++++ read more

I just had Seatown Auto/H & I Auto (not sure which name is current), fix some damage that was done to my classic 1967 Mustang convertible. Paul and Yuchu are wonderfully and incredibly friendly. It was like working with a small-town shop but very competent. Paul knows his repair products and has great experience. The person who hit me (a high-end BMW) also had Seatown do his repair. Plus, they worked with the insurance company to make sure all the damage was covered. They quickly emailed me updates and PDF's of updated estimates. Excellent and very highly recommended! read more

We have had numerous cars repaired for collision over the past 10 years. These folks do a great job and deal with your insurance company. We have always found them to be friendly, helpful, reasonably priced and very professional. read more

These people were amazing, fast, empathetic, and quick. They gave me a free estimate, worked me in the next day and expedited the work. I am here from Alaska on a medical emergency and they were empathetic to that and got the job done an hour earlier than the projected time. The work they did is excellent and they stood by their price. read more
